Yule Idea #11: Petition Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, offering milk & cookies in exchange.

Who said Santa is just for kids? Work with the egregore of Santa, or any Winter Holiday figure to help obtain your desires. Sick the Grinch or Krampus on your enemies. Ask Jack Frost for a mild Winter. Give thanks to St. Nikolaus for caring for the children in your community. The list goes on and on ❤️

Things to do for Yule

Hello witches! Here are some activities to do for Yule!

1. Enchant hot chocolate.

I always love a good cup of hot chocolate on a cold day, so why not make that a bit more magical? I always add peppermint to mine to wake myself up. You can make your hot chocolate homemade and put your own flavors into it. You can also try and make sigils with the foam!

2. Decorate your altar or sacred space.

You can decorate altar with a tiny tree or even have one in your room! You can also hang up things that remind you of Yule. If you work with any deities, you could decorate their space with what they like.

3. Make witchy presents for people.

Gifts could be as complex as a witch bottle or as simple as enchanting some jewelry. The sky is the limit!

4. Make self-love spells.

Sometimes the holidays can be a bit rough so doing self-love spells can really help! I made a witch bottle of self-love for a friend of mine. You can make sigils or even full rituals for self-love.

5. Enchant greeting cards.

If you send greeting cards to your relatives or friends, you can place sigils on them for good luck. You can place some money in for prosperity. You can simply cleanse the card and place your intention on it.

This is a bit of a shorter post but I hope this gave you some ideas for Yule! Happy holidays!

Yule Idea #7: Use your Yule Tree as your seasonal altar.

Perform spells and rituals in front of the tree, utilizing the energy from the lights, ornaments, and tree itself. Decorate your tree with representations of the elements. Empower your tree by anointing it with spell oils or solar water. Place new spell vessels/sachets on the tree to be charged by the lights. Add ornaments given from ancestors or feature their photos. Mediate with the tree. Listen to holiday music while casting. Use as your seasonal sacred space.

Yule Tip #3: Craft your own seasonal Yule oil blend.

Using a magical oil while doing Yule activities can infuse any moment with magic. Use it to anoint ornaments for the tree, wear when wrapping gifts, and use to anoint your Yule Log and candles. Your own unique recipe can be customized for your Yule intentions, and passed down through future generations.

*Popular Yule correspondences are cinnamon, cloves, ivy, mistletoe, nutmeg, peppermint, rosemary, saffron, evergreen, cedar, fir, pine, spruce, holly, pecan, poinsettia, and frankincense.

HAPPY YULE TO EVERYONE WHO CELEBRATES IT!!

its the first ay of yule and im pretty new to it, in fact its my first time. i meant to celebrate it last year but ended up not doing so im still looking into the history and traditions of yule and such so any resources you may have would be great! /nf my plans as a closeted witch for this year so far?

+ baking

- i love baking. i want to bake cookies an maybe do some baking with my mom if she's feeling up to it but i think it would be a great practice for some kitchen witchery too.

+ gift giving

- i have some gifts i plan on sending out asap, and i love making personalised gifts for people close to me when i can.

+ generally spending what time i can with my family

- since im moving out next month this will be the last holiday i spend with them so i want to make it count and end on a good note. plus my sisters birthday is on the 26th so i definitely want to make it a good one for them too!

+ making offers to my patrons at their alters

- as of now my only patron is Hera but i feel there is supposed to be others (or one other). im looking into all sorts of things i could do for her/add to her altar as well as trying to figure out if i do have other patrons trying to reach out to me and hopefully do the same for them! (id love some tips on this too! /nf)

+ Backyard bonfire!

- we have a small fire pit in our backyard thats never been used an my sister and i would love to light it up so im really hoping we can do that!

--

there wont be any tree decorating this year as we only have a small light up tree and my moms already set up what decorations we have available right now

but if anyone has any other activities theyre planning on doing this year feel free to share!! i'd love to hear how everyone else is celebrating this holiday /gen
